Hey everybody! I'm really excited today because I've just tried a new, and super awesome technique for the first time and I absolutely love it. The technique is called Paper Tole and it's a fairly simple technique that has a lot of wow factor. It's hard to see the 3D effect in this pic because the pic was taken straight on...

but check this pic out! See how the image is lifting off of the page? That's what Paper Tole is all about.

I'm happy to say that I've got a full tutorial to share with you today. Here's what you will need...

3. Put your image piece on top of a safe cutting surface. I used a thick piece of cardboard.

4. Using the X-acto knife cut carefully around the
elf’s hat, right side ear, bangs, shoe tops and the four corners of the sign.
These are the areas that will be raised on your finished card. Make sure that
you leave space between the cuts (do not connect the cuts or the image will
become disconnected from the page).

5. Flip your cut image piece over and add mini
dimensionals to the areas that are to be raised. Add a strong adhesive to the
rest of the background. It is important to make sure you have adhesive between
the areas with dimensionals. If you don’t add enough adhesive then the image
piece will raise up and become level with the cut/raised edges and you will
lose the 3D effect.

6. Adhere your image piece to the appropriately
sized black mat using Fast Fuse and do the same with the DSP pieces. Adhere the
black strip of DSP vertically to the green DSP using fast fuse. Adhere the DSP
to the card base using dimensionals. Finally, adhere the image piece to the
card using dimensional and embellish with sequins.

This technique is so easy and fun! I can't believe that I haven't seen it used very often. I hope this tutorial will help you feel confident enough to give it a try. If you do give it a shot please let me know how it turned out.
